extensive mitigation projects in hopes the policy can be waived in this instance. Staff and
the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board have concluded that the alignment of the
transmission line is the only reasonable alignment and the mitigation projects offered serve
to mitigate the impacts to the natural area and surrounding open spaces. This Ordinance,
adopted on First Reading by a vote of 4-3 (Nays: Manvel, Ohlson, Roy), authorizes
conveyance of a non-exclusive easement.

30. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 150 2006 Authorizing Amendments to the
Intergovernmental Agreements Between the City and Poudre School District and Thompson
School District Pertaining to the Land Dedication and In -Lieu Fee Requirements Contained
in Such Agreements. (no staff presentation - 10 minute discussion)
Since 1998, the City of Fort Collins has collected a fee -in -lieu of land dedication for both
Poudre School District and Thompson School District. These fees allow a residential
developer to pay a school site fee to the School Districts rather than to dedicate a parcel of
land to the District for development of future schools. The ability of the school districts to
require land dedication is provided under State of Colorado Statute.
The last time the amount of these fees was adjusted was in 2001. This Ordinance, adopted
on First Reading on September 19, 2006 by a vote of 6-1 (Nays: Brown), changes the amount
of the fees for each district and also modifies the fee structure to reduce the cost in payments
for larger, multi -family developments. The school districts requested a substantial increase
to the fees in reaction to substantial increases in the cost of securing appropriate school sites.
The Ordinance was amended on First Reading to phase in the fee increase for the Poudre
School District. The first increase will take place on January 1, 2007 and increase the fee to
$1200 per dwelling unit. The second increase to $1800 per dwelling unit will occur on
January 1, 2008.
